(Band Binge: Muse Part Four of Six)
Yep, it's their best album. It's not my favorite album, but it's their best.
I think Muse play it best when they are shooting for the stars. Hell, the band is known for, at times creating weird, oddball experiments, combining more poppy or unexpected Influences in amoungst the more heavy and distorted elements of their sound, and other times completely annihalating your ears with huge riffs or subtle acoustics. And this album? It's no exception.

EDIT: A 100 in my heart, but a 96 in my head. Let's just split the difference and call it a day...

If this album isn't about Matt's fantasies about Earth-Chan then I don't know what it is then.
Black Holes and Absolution are the albums that really define Muse's sound in my opinion.
Dammit Muse! You keep fooling my expectations for what’s my favorite album! Anyway, this album is incredible! Amazing production, great riffs, Matt Bellamy’s vocals are as great as always and Starlight is a song I hold dearly to my heart!
